There are three hypothesis: A) Innate Bio-program: There exists a specific, innate bio-program for language learning, which defines an optimal path for first and second language development. Children develop listening competence before they develop the ability to speak. They make “a blue-print” of the language first. They develop "a cognitive map" of the language during listening process. B) Brain Lateralisation: The brain has two main parts: left hemisphere, and right hemisphere , which have different learning functions. If both hemispheres are activated, learning is more effective. C) Stress (an affective filter): Stress intervenes between the act of learning and what is to be learned. The lower the stress is, the greater the learning becomes.
